Warrant Arrested: Jamie C. Austin, 34, Boise

Warrant Charges: Grand Theft (F)

Warrant Arrested: Ryan T. Austin, 24, Boise

Warrant Charges: Grand Theft (F)

The suspects were taken into custody on
outstanding felony warrants for Grand Theft Saturday.

The arrest warrants stem from an ongoing
investigation into theft from a retail outlet that took place in
January of this year. Evidence indicates that Jamie Austin, who was
at the time an employee of a retail store on the 7000 block of West
State, was taking cash from a register starting in July of last
year, valued in excess of $17,000.00. During the same time period,
evidence indicates Jamie Austin allowed Ryan Austin to take several
items from the store without ringing up the items for payment. The
value of the items taken is estimated to be more than $1,000.00.
That investigative information was forwarded to the Ada County
Prosecuting Attorney's Office and resulted in the felony
warrant.
